چکیده

Good robot performance often relies upon the selection of design parameters that lead to a well conditioned Jacobian or impedance " design " matrix. In this paper, a new design matrix normalization technique is presented to cope with the problem of non-homogeneous physical units. The technique pre and post-multiplies a design matrix by diagonal scaling matrices corresponding to the range of joint and task space variables. In the case of the Jacobian, normalization leads to a practical interpretation of a robot's " Characteristic Length " as the desired ratio between maximum linear and angular force or velocity. The scale factors can also be used to set relative required strength or speed along any axes of end-point motion and/or can be treated as free design parameters to improve isotropy through asymmetric actuation. The effect of scaling on actual designs is illustrated by a number of design examples using a global search method previously developed by the authors.

Task-space Control of Electrically Driven Robots

Actuators of robot operate in the joint-space while the end-effect or of robot is controlled in the task-space. Therefore, designing a control system for a robotic system in the task-space requires the jacobian matrix information for transforming joint-space to task-space, which suffers from uncertainties. This paper deals with the robust task-space control of electrically driven robot manipula...
